>I'm fairly new to VFP so I hope this doesn't sound too much like a dumb question. Is there a way to create a "display" type window (ie. initial opening window when an executable program first starts up) where ther is no title bar and the form can be released internally after a predetermined "wait" period?

In VFP6.0 there is a spash screen class you can use.

In VFP 5.0 you must set several properties to make the title bar go away.
Caption = ""
Closeable = .F.
MinButton = .F.
MaxButton = .F.
Moveable = .F.
ControlBox = .F.
